And while trying to understand what this code does I keep getting
confused by what bio_integrity_uncopy_user actually does.

And I think a bit part of that is the "creative" abuse of bip_vec
by the copy-based integrity code, where bip_vec[0] is the vector
passed to the block layer, and the rest contains the user buffer.

Maybe it's just me, but not stashing the user pages in the bvecs
but just stasing away the actual iov_iter would be much preferable
for this code?

Either way, back to the code.  The existing code uses
bip_iter.bi_size for sizing the copy, and that can be modified when
the bio is cloned (or at least by the rules for the bio data) be
modified by the driver.  So yes, switching away from that is
good and the change looks correct.  That being said, even if we
aren't going to fix up the logic as mentioned above instantly,
can we pick better names for the variables?

static void bio_integrity_uncopy_user(struct bio_integrity_payload *bip)
{
 	unsigned short orig_nr_vecs = bip->bip_max_vcnt - 1;
	struct bio_vec *orig_bvecs = &bip->bip_vec[1];
	struct bio_vec *bounce_bvec = &bip->bip_vec[0];
	size_t bytes = boune_bvec->bv_len;
 	struct iov_iter orig_iter;
	int ret;

	iov_iter_bvec(&orig_iter, ITER_DEST, orig_bvecs, orig_nr_vecs, bytes);
	ret = copy_to_iter(bvec_virt(bounce_bvec), bytes, &orig_iter);
	WARN_ON_ONCE(ret != bytes);

	bio_integrity_unpin_bvec(orig_bvecs, orig_nr_vecs, true);
}

?

Also please add a Fixes tag.
